Cool, will doSounds good, although I'm not 100% sure about timing yet. Drop me a message with your contact details, and I'll get in tough.
How many people are using there e-bike off-road?

' Barn of Death ' sounds like Truleigh Hill Barn to me near the masts, pretty rough section of stoney/flinty SDW but quite good with a bit of speed. Would be keen to meet up but have not yet given the replacement GSM a shake down yet to see it is all ok and still have yet to convert the BBS for lipo use .

Yes, that's the place. I've had 3 sliced tyres along that section at the end of last year, limping home with cardboard holding the tube in. One I definitely caused by bouncing the dropper post down, the immediate fast and loud psssssss told me my push had coincided with passing over a sharp flint. I've been a little ginger along there ever since but so far no flat. Hopefully that was my bad run of three in a row out of the way. New Nobby Nics were taking all my pocket money too.'

Well perhaps not by this Wednesday but once you've had a shakedown of the bike let's catch a section of sdw together? A mini off road ebike social taking in a scenic section of the sdw.
If we can build a up little crew I'd be up for a monthly fortnightly ride, especially going into summer days
I'm another who lost a tube the first time that I rode there. I also take it pretty easy now whilst traveling along that section.
On the same day as wrecking that tube, I wrecked a second, nearer to Stamner Park where there is another chalk track that has plenty of flint.
That one resulted in having to push the bike back to Plumpton.

Fortnightly /monthly sounds good definitely keen to get together for some group rides on the downs, the SDW is ok to get between points and some of the grassy trails are ok compared to the flint sections but like Eddie I like the to get off the main routes and use other tracks and bridleways which are excellent esp when it is has dried up a bit. Hopefully I will be able to get out Tuesday am for a local ride and meet up with you two the day after.Yes, that's the place.

Absolutely. Exploring little off shoot tracks and going cross country almost always rewards with a new discovery and some special panoramic views.
I shall look forward to meeting up and exploring. Roll on the light evenings

I bet the wheels are a nightmare to true though? [emoji51]
i did get a new 1 under warranty but took a few weeks for me to get it in the post, so have 1 spare.
xd hubs dont like jumps and took a hr to get it off the axle even in the lbs.
3 shops were not even interested when ringing round to try get it removed from the wheel.
tho cb did say would replace the hole wheel if it was stuck.
did i say i was jumping a 20kg electric bike nope

All sounds a bit farcical. Maintenance and accessibility of parts should be straight forward and simply. It sounds like you had a bit of a run about. [emoji53]i did get a new 1 under warranty but took a few weeks for me to get it in the post, so have 1 spare.

I guess once you know what's what and where to go for parts you're sorted going forwards.
Jump on!
Jump on!
